They are also eligible to continue their education and professional development in TMCC’s hybrid Paramedic Program. Students who complete the EMT and EMT Advanced apprenticeship are paid for not only their hours of work at Renown caring for patients and receiving on-the-job training but also for their time completing the academic program, along with their books and supplies. “These candidates are being employed in these tech positions, which is using them in a much better capacity-they are helping patients.” These are accelerated programs, which are each completed within nine weeks (as opposed to sixteen) for a total of 18 weeks. Those who apply and are accepted into the apprenticeship program are also enrolled in TMCC’s EMT and EMT Advanced classes.

“They’ve discovered that this tech position can be utilized in a better way than before, under the direction of a physician, in the midst of a nursing shortage and to their full scope.” “They’re trying to find different ways to provide patient care with those kinds of staffing shortages,” said Stephanie Mead, TMCC faculty and EMS Coordinator in the EMS Emergency Medical Services/Paramedic Program. Thanks to a partnership with Renown, the Nevada System of Higher Education, and TMCC, those who want a career as an Emergency Medical Technician or Paramedic-or even a nurse physician’s assistant-can take the first step in this challenging, rewarding, and in-demand profession thanks to a unique apprenticeship opportunity.Īpprentices are paired with working technicians at Renown who act as professional mentors supporting their journey as emergency trauma technicians. With an ongoing shortage of nurses, now more than ever students interested in pursuing a career in the medical field can gain education and experience at no cost.
